Express 17 and -50 as rational numbre.

(Hint:Write thes

numbre in the form of p/q where q is not equal to 0.

Answer :

We know rational number can be expressed  in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$  , Where q  $\ne$  0 .

So we can expressed 17 as rational number , As we multiply and divide by same number (  any  number ) .

Here we multiply and divide by 2 , And get

17 $\times \frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{34}{2}$   , This number is  in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$  , Where q  $\ne$  0 .    ,So we can say

we can expressed 17 as rational number As :  $\frac{34}{2}$

And

we can expressed - 50 as rational number , As we multiply and divide by same number (  any  number ) .

Here we multiply and divide by 2 , And get

- 50 $\times \frac{2}{2}$ = $- \frac{100}{2}$   , This number is  in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$  , Where q  $\ne$  0 .    ,So we can say

we can expressed - 50 as rational number As :  $- \frac{100}{2}$
